The Carbon advocate. [volume] (Lehighton, Pa.) 1872-1924, 1887-11-05

Tx Mauch Chunk Coal GdEette says
some very bitter things about the CARBON
ADVOCATE In its issue of last week because
we had the temerity to denounce as false
the lying recriminations published in that
journal concerning the official integrity of
the Democratic candidate for Register and
Recorder, Charles W. Lentz. The editor
Of the Gazette has been harping on Demo-
cratic dishonesty and indulging In per-
sopal abuse of Mr.. Lentz all through the
present campaign. II the editor of that
paper possesses facts whlch would convict
Mr.. Lentx of dishonesty during the three
years he filed the Office Of sheriff Of Car
bon county, why has he not produced them
and demanded an Investigation? The editor
Of the Gazette knowing that the accusations
Of official dishonesty on the part OF the
Democratic candidate for Register and Re-
corder are false and without foundation OF
fact, resorts to the low, mean and con-
temptible subterfuge of voluntary evasion
when called to account by the CARBON
ADVOCATE, and then exhibits a severe at
tack of spleen by an attack upon this jour
nal. The Gazette is simply indulging in iti
old tactics, the voters of this county arr
aware of the fact, and will repudiate th'
lying accusations at the polls on Tuesday
by voting for Charles W. Lentz, for Regis
ter and Recorder.

A COLORED SALESMAN.

Mr.. III. B. Abrahams, who is
popularity known in this city, is in
the employment Mr.. Smith 924,
9TH ST., n. W. as a salesman. Mr..
Smith is a white man who knows
no prejudice on account of color.
He has been an abolitionist all his
life and the fact OF him employ
ing a colored man as salesman is
sufficient guarantee that he has
been and is a friend to the colored
people. The colored people should
bear this fact in mind, that where
there is white man who has
courage enough to employ one OF
the race, it is the duty of the col

it was a grand aud noble one, and
should be encouraged by every
chr stian.
The church took up collection
of $500 for the society. The
society extended a vote of thanks
TO the pastor for his good adj
dress, and to the members for the
use of their edifce and to the choir
for the excellent music furnished
during the evening.
The meeting in the above church
will be long remembered by all
present. The Home Work will
certainly succeed on Capitol Hill
as the old as we'll as the young,
are becoming interested in it. The
pulpit was handsomely decorated
with flowers which gave every
thing cheerful appearance.
This organization of ladies is
doing a great work in the COM
munity and the people are In duty
hound to support it. If all other
denominations would do half as
much there is no doubt but that
the morals in the city among
The people would be greatly inn

ored people to give him their en-
tire patronage which will have
a tendency to make other mer-
chants in the city who want the
patronage of the colored people,
employ more coloreu men as sales
men.
Kings Palace, Langsburg and
other big houses that receive the
patronage of the colored people will
not employ colored statesmen and
women. If the colored people
would withdraw their support
from them they would soon be
convinced that their cash and
monthly receipts would lessen.
The colored people know this
to be a fact and yet they will
continue to support such houses in
preference to places like Mr..
Smith, who is patriotic enough to
recognize one of the race against
prejudice.

HOME MISSIONARY
SOCIETY.

The above society held its
seventh public meeting, in the
Edon Baptist church last Sunday
evening at 8 o'clock. The ihele-
ment weather during the after
noon did not keep away the
friends of the society, Long be-
fore the hour of meeting, persons
were seen vending their way
to the church fearing the unpleas-
ant duty of standing during ser
vices. Precisely at s o'clock the
choir commenced singing, after
which the pastor Rev A. s. Thorn
as read the Sd chapter of Eclesias-
tes and Mr. d. w. Jones, of Way
land Seminary, offered prayer.
The president of the society
Miss M. E. Pryor, was next intro
duced by the pastor, she spoke
of the organization, the number
of churches represented In the
society, the amount of 60 d done
by its members since Its organiza-
ton, and the encouragement
which they received from the
Baptist churches visited. Miss
Pryor gave as the main object of
the society, to help the poor chill
dren of this city.

ed that the following churches
had contributed largely:
Second Baptist $13.25, Shiloh
